Best Answer

A graph's scale - is the ratio at which the data has been displayed. For example, say you're wanting to show the distance various cars travel on a single gallon of fuel. You could represent each mile on the graph as 1 inch. You would place a heading on the graph saying something like.. Scale 63,360:1 - which means every inch on the map represents 63,360 inches travelled (there are 63,360 inches in a mile).

The scale should have a key so you know the units being measured.
